Yes, these three problems are related in a very real way. All three require treatment, but not medication!

Autism, ADD, and ADHD are all part of a variety of illnesses (called Autism Spectrum Disorders or ASD) which involve a loss of function of the nervous system (called neurodegeneration). There are several causes of ASD afflictions. It is increasingly clear that the astronomical increase in the rate of autism, ADD, and ADHD in the last 15 years is in large part due to vaccinations. Some researchers point the finger at the ill-conceived hepatitis B vaccination (first given to newborns in 1989), along with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR); however, there is also much evidence pointing toward the use of mercury and aluminum as preservatives in most vaccines.

Hepatitis B was ill-conceived because it is given to newborns whose immune systems are not developed. Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system, so there is nothing for the vaccine to stimulate. So it does no good, and in fact may do serious harm. All it appears to be good for is to make lots of money for the drug companies and the folks who charge for giving the vaccines, and, unfortunately, for creating autism, ADD, and ADHD. (References for this and other statements I am making are numerous. I refer you to Dr. Stephanie Cave's book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations. You may also refer to any of the Sites listed in the "Links" section of our Web Site.)

This is even truer of babies who are born by caesarean section and/or who are not breast fed for whatever reason. A newborn baby has only one-half of the immune system in function. This is the one-half that prevents the mother from rejecting the "foreign body" which is the baby. But the one-half that battles foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses is non-functioning. The baby gets the second half of the immune system working by being exposed to the bacteria in the mother's vaginal canal. And then the baby gets the start of antibody formation from the mother's breast milk, in a substance known as Colostrum. It is not the caesarean section or the lack of breast feeding that causes the problem, it is the vaccines, because the baby does not have the immunity in place to react well to the vaccines!

Vaccines contain a slew of toxins which overwhelm the child's ability to detoxify themselves. (Being tiny, with an underdeveloped immune system, vaccines introduce many more toxins into a child than the child is able to get rid of.) As a consequence, the toxins remain in the body. This toxin buildup prevents the brain from functioning properly and leads to autism with many and to ADD/ADHD with others. There are various "grades" of these ASD's. To say that a child who does not have all of the serious signs of autism is not autistic is like saying a child with a cold is not sick because they do not have all the signs of pneumonia!!

Ingredients in vaccines (as listed by the CDC itself on their website) include antibiotics, aluminum gels, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate, egg protein, and sulfites. A child could be allergic to antibiotics. Aluminum can cause the brain conditions seen in Alzheimer's disease. Formaldehyde is a highly toxic carcinogenic chemical. MSG is a potent excito-toxin which can cause seizures, brain tumors, and more. Egg protein could cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction, as can sulfites.

However, the CDC fails to mention the ethyl-mercury containing preservative Thimerasol that has been in many vaccines, and still is in some. Mercury is the second most toxic element behind only uranium! Think about how mercury has been removed from all oral thermometers, eye drops, and even in mercurochrome. However, it is still used in some dental fillings and in some vaccines. This is insanity to the outer limits! Actually, as pointed out by Rebecca Carley, MD, the "rate of autism in the last generation became self-evident proof that vaccines are the causative factor." The rate of autism has gone from 1 in 10,000 births 50 years ago to 1 in 160 today!

There are many toxins in our world outside of vaccines. We live in a highly toxic world that exposes a child to tens of thousands of chemicals. On their own, these toxins do not seem to cause autism, ADD/ADHD, or related syndromes, but when mercury and aluminum laden vaccines add to the burden, the toxic overload may reach the breaking point and contribute to the development of the neurodegenerative disorders.

Actually, there is a fatal flaw in the vaccines themselves that can lead to autism, ADD/ADHD, and other neurodegenerative disorders. This is why the MMR vaccine may lead to these disorders even though it may have no mercury in it. The viruses or antigens in vaccines that are supposed to stimulate the immune system's immune response bypass the critical first line of defense for the immune system. They bypass the immune system components in the linings of the intestines, lungs, and in saliva. This will throw the immune system so far off that it begins actually attacking the body itself.

The build-up of toxins in the brain and nervous system is a fundamental issue to be dealt with in all of these neurodegenerative disorders. You've got to get rid of them. It is this toxic overload that is causing the problem. And the consequent Candida and other infections have to be controlled.

Dr. Baldwin can help you with Functional Testing to show the presence of factors that will cause the neurodegenerative disorders, and he can help guide you to treatments that will help you or your child. He does this first by getting the body's immune system healthy, detecting the presence of infections and toxins, and Naturally getting rid of them..
